Another Great Trip

Two days later and I am still recovering from my trip to New York. I want to thank the skunk in my neighborhood this morning for the overwhelming smell which brought back memories of the scented city streets that we walked and walked and walked every day.

This was a common sight for me.

I think I am aging faster than my OLDER sisters because almost everyone we meet thinks I am the oldest and apparently I am the slowest. I would like to comfort myself with thinking that I kept stopping to take pictures but even when I wasn't taking pictures I was still slow. My road runner sisters were hard to keep up with.

Our days were chock full of activities and we roamed further from our hotel this trip. Of course we still went to Times Square.



Hasn't anyone told this guy about hands-free when you drive?




And we HAD to go to China Town.








Sheri and April learned to be careful where they sat or stood when my camera was in my hands.





And my camera was almost always in my hands taking pictures of EVERYTHING.











We found some places we would love to go back and eat at and others, not so much.



Both musicals were a hit. We loved Cinderella

and Newsies.

FAO Swartz was a lot of fun. At the entrance a kooky soldier spun us around until we almost puked.





My boys wished that I brought them home Legos from that store... if only.



And if only April hadn't found a giant spider to scare me with. Twice. I made the mistake of closing my eyes after the first time she scared me while I took deep breaths to calm myself down. Then I opened my eyes to find it IN MY FACE. I screamed at the top of my lungs. True story. The worker said it was the loudest she had heard anyone scream in the store - and many, many children have come through. I have topped them all.


I'm still working on forgiving her for that.


This year we took a Central Park pedicab tour with Johnny Cash.










On our last day we went to Grand Central Station. I had no idea how grand and how amazing this place was. I am so glad we took the time to go. I'm sad that Sheri had to leave early and missed it.
